5 Days for the Homeless
In March 2010, Capilano University students camped out on the street in a fundraising campaign to raise awareness about homelessness. All proceeds from their fundraising generously went towards Alternate Shelter Society programs!
Fundraising
In order to maintain services to high risk youth, Alternate Shelter Society relies heavily on public funding and private donations. Without these sources of funding Alternate Shelter Society would not be able to have as great an impact on the youth we serve. The closure of grass-roots non-profit organizations has left many youth with no options and little hope. Most youth that are turned away due to lack of resources end up in a life of crime, prostitution, and early death due to the harsh life on the streets. Organizations such as Alternate Shelter Society can make a difference for many of these individuals.
We need your support to keep programs such as "Lifeskills" running. Without Lifeskills training our youth don't know how to go about finding a job, a place to live, or even take care of themselves after leaving the Society's resources. This makes them vulnerable and likely to revert to life on the street. Making an investment into our programs is an investment into a safe and happy future for all our children.
Please feel free to contact us for any further information about Alternate Shelter Society, procedures concerning charitable donations, or to schedule a meeting with the fundraising committee.
